Celestial Paintings

I started out calling this group of work “StarDust.” It’s loosely based on the astrological theory that we are all made of the same matter as the universe, and we will return to it in the end. It’s a very romantic idea, thinking we are all stardust. Somehow I drew the parallel to endangered species and how these animals will never exist again. They will be stardust, and they will be legends of what was before man overtook the world. These pieces are records of their existence but also of their future end, if we fail to act.
